Snow far, so good for Fairy

Trainer Ed Dunlop believes “all the signs are good” for Snow Fairy as she bids for a seventh Group One success in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown this evening.

The five-year-old mare added even more value to her incredible CV when she made a perfect return from a career-threatening injury in last month’s Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville.

Dunlop reports Snow Fairy to have touched down in Ireland in rude health and is confident of a big run – especially with the drying ground in her favour.
